Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, underlined its opposition to any foreign military intervention in Syria.
“We condemn the crimes that the brotherly Syrian nation has been facing since 2.5 years ago and in the meantime defend our rigid stance on supporting the Syrian nation and its right to have freedom and honor,” a Hamas leader said in a press release on Tuesday.

He reiterated Hamas’s opposition to any attack or foreign military intervention in Syria and other Arab-Muslim countries.

Tensions rose higher in the region after US rushed to dispatch its warships toward Syria, threatening to bomb several areas in the country, based on conflicting reports of an alleged chemical attack in the country.

The US-backed militants posted pictures and videos of an alleged chemical attack two weeks ago which they claimed the Syrian army was responsible for it.

The Syrian government, which had already called for UN action against several cases of chemical attacks by anti-Syria militants in the country, rejected the claims as baseless and paved the way for a visiting UN team of inspectors to investigate the story.

Syria says the attack was actually carried out by the foreign-backed militants to open way for their western and regional supporters to attack Syria.

Despite the killing of at least 100,000 people in the massive insurgency in Syria, the US is intent on joining the conflict.
